Hello Everyone,
This example is my 1850 without frame around the Cross Scott #8 A13 10r yel, blk & red
3 errors I spotted:
1. That white band running from the bottom to the top of the shield on the right side should not be there. This narrow white band is 3 mm wide.
At first I thought it was a color shift, but no. Lets focus on the red first. If the red color was put in the wrong spot when printed, it would have gone over the left black border of the shield by 1.5 mm. Nope, the red on the left side of the shield stays within the black line border and is where it should be proving no color shift of the red ink. This stamp is missing 1.5 mm of red ink on the right side of the shield.
2. The right side of the shield is also missing 1.5 mm of the yellow ink. No color shift there either because the shift would have to be going in the wrong direction for the white paper to be exposed. I can't see how the machine would have run out of both red & yellow ink in this 3 mm area. Looks odd, liked a stamping error causing this 3 mm white channel to appear.
3. On the right upper side of the shield around 1 o'clock, there is a narrow black short curved line that should not be there. There should only be only one solid thick black line creating a narrow channel of yellow ink between the shield & this thick black line. Just zoom in and compare it to the left side of the shield to spot the difference.
Here is the back pix, if needed.
Ever see anything like this before?
